[KineJapan] The effects of Coved-19 on Japanese film & tv

[Jim Harper]

 The information I've had is that movies planned for shooting in the fall/winter are still being (cautiously) planned and pre-produced, but that the postponement of the Olympics is causing problems for the summer 2021 release schedule.

Jim.

 Toei’s Tokyo studio is closing, presumably temporarily, because someone there tested positive for Convidado-19.

What other effects on the film industry have people seen? Any reports from the ground?
